Baker changes decision to LSC-PA

According to the Hoosier Hills Hoops blog, guard Darryl Baker will not attend Lamar this year, as originally planned.
Instead, poor grades have forced Baker to take the junior college route and play for Lamar State College-Port Arthur. The move to Port Arthur allows Baker to still be close to Lamar assistant coach Sherron Wilkerson, who is Baker’s legal guardian.
If Baker excels at LSC-PA, he could begin receiving interest from larger schools that could muscle Lamar out of Baker’s recruitment. The blog article quotes Baker as saying he is opening his recruitment back up but Lamar is still being considered.
Originally, Baker was going to attend Lamar, sit out a year to raise his grades and then join the team in 2014. Now, Baker will be able to play right away.
According to the blog, Baker will leave for Port Arthur on August 21.
Baker told Hoosier Hills that his time at LSC-PA could last one or two years depending on his academic improvement.
